Things to do in Hong Kong, China: The Best Sights & Landmarks

August 14, 2021 Janean Rudisill

Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

The Hong Kong Catholic Cathedral of The Immaculate Conception

Reviewed By cy_sg - Singapore, Singapore

My wife and I recently visited the Cathedral on a Sunday afternoon. The Cathedral along Caine Road in Central and it's a bit of an uphill trek from Central HK. Fortunately for us, we had the benefit of Google Maps but it may otherwise be a bit hard to locate the Cathedral as it's surrounded and squeezed by several high-rise buildings (all of which fork part of the Catholic Church's compound in HK). We were there on a Sunday afternoon and a wedding service had just ended, which allowed us to explore the inside of the Cathedral in air con comfort. The Cathedral is not too big and is laid out in similar form to most European cathedrals with the altar forming the centrepiece of the sanctuary, with smaller chapels at the back of the altar - 1 for the Blessed Sacrament, 1 for the Adoration to Mary and several other small prayer chapels. Very European like, unlike many of the other Cathedrals and Churches you find in Asia. While somewhat modern, the Church provided a good respite from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, and a nice prayer space in the hear of the city. English masses are held at 9.30am on Sundays and the other masses are, I believe, in Cantonese.
